the librarian begins a new chapter


Yes, it's true!
My friend, Kristin the librarian, had her little boy this morning!
Baby Landon and his mom are doing quite well and enjoying each others' arms. He's about a month early, but I guess he simply couldn't wait any longer to see his folks!
The baby shower for Kristin and her man, Chaster, was held just over a week ago. Kristin's little sister, who already has a child, stayed here in town to help out her big sister. Nice, right?
I know having the sister is going to be a big help. As you may or may not know, newborns are up every two hours or so for feeding, holding, and pooping, for that first month.
Yeah, you read that right: every two hours.
My first niece and her husband have had numerous experiences with babies in the past two years. As foster parents, they have brought newborns home to tend on more than one occasion. They've also had lots of experiences with older babies and with children all the way up to 11 years old.
Perhaps I'll make sure the librarian knows to use them as living reference manuals!
(smile!)
